    Tons of Gran Turismo 7. I've been house sitting for someone and I wasn't able to bring my entire wheel and pedal set with me, so I've mainly been redoing the license tests and going through the circuit experiences for each track. Before house sitting, I was playing tons of Sport mode races, and I am so itching to get back to those, but I feel like going from a wheel and pedal set back to a controller will not make me as competitive online. From a leak I read last week, the next update is supposed to be a big one, supposedly a direct response to Forza Motorsport 8's release, and I'm hoping its the true single player experience people were expecting, not just a couple cars and more menu books. I'm also on the edge about getting a PSVR2... It's looks like tons of fun, and I love the idea of VR racing. I feel like racing in VR is one of the only places where VR truly shines. But on the other hand, its really expensive and I don't like the idea of paying upwards of $500 on a peripheral for one game.

    Looking forward to the new Call of Duty, I know lots of people think it's a dead horse but its a franchise that keeps me coming back. I played the beta until I reached max rank, and I had so much fun. I'm glad its a departure from the last game, the new one suits my playstyle more.

    Still on the 11th gen Intel 1135g7, although I currently have the AMD Ryzen 5 board on preorder. Upgraded the speakers to the new 80db speakers, upgraded the hinges to the new 4.0g hinges, and I might upgrade to the matte screen and get the CNC top cover soon, as mine has a dent in the top from something.

    I'm torn on this. On one hand, I do like the sleek designs that phones have with glass backings. To me, they feel a bit more premium, and I really like the way they look. However, I do like the...

    I'm torn on this. On one hand, I do like the sleek designs that phones have with glass backings. To me, they feel a bit more premium, and I really like the way they look. However, I do like the idea of swapping a battery out when my old one stops holding charge, and I like having my phone for as long as possible. Hopefully this is possible without going back to plastic backs, the last phone I had with a removable battery was a Galaxy S5.

    In my honest opinion, I would really like this. I know this isn't trying to be a reddit replacement, but I really want to participate here and one of the issues I'm trying to get over is that the groups are so massive that most of the discussion isn't relevant to me. Like ~sports is great, but I only watch baseball, so most of the stuff in it is irrelevant to me. Same with ~games, I only play a certain subset of games so most of the discussion isn't really all that relevant to me.

    I think it would be a great idea to have sub groups under the current ones, for example you have ~sports, and then underneath that you have ~baseball, ~football, etc etc. This way, you can join a subset that's more relevant for you, or you can stay subscribed to ~sports and you'll get all the top posts from all the subsets.

    Some groups are harder to do this for, for example ~books can't really be split up but then again it doesn't really need to be because all discussion can typically fall under one umbrella.

    Maybe don't let users start their own groups because that would just fraction an already small userbase, but I like the idea of making sure I'm seeing more relevant content in order for me to engage.
